Your wonderful grades in school now seem to be a waste of time and effort but before you give up, here are a list of things you can do to step up your game. The first thing an employer accesses about you is your Curriculum Vitae or Resume . It is the first impression that would last long in his mind. It can either make or mar your chances of getting an opportunity to showcase those wonderful skills you have. If you are willing to permanently change your own employment story for the better, take a look at the following things and correct the mistakes.  EMAIL ADDRESSES When I was in my final year I guess, Dr Okeola a senior lecturer in the Civil Engineering department made everyone of my classmates (myself included) open an email address with our first and last name. He cared less if you already had something you used frequently. We had to obey him because he usually sent us...

VIRGINITY OR VIRTUE?

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TRAIT IN A WOMAN? Her Virginity or Her Virtuous Qualities? It is no longer news that we live in a decaying world where nearly every good practice is ridiculed and termed 'old fashioned'. The values and morals our ancestors held in high esteem are being dragged in the mud by the youths of today. The reason? They feel they have been liberated and can now explore as much as they desire while damning the consequences. In earlier times in many parts of the then world (I mean even before Christianity came to Africa), girls were expected to 'keep' their bodies till they married. Husbands reserved the exclusive rights to deflower their brides on their matrimonial bed. Anything short of this brought shame to her and her family. This often leads to death, curses or other grievous consequences. The reason behind this tradition is not far fetched. Virginity was only the only way to tell that a woman was not carrying another man's baby as at her ...

You have been working for years and yet, you have not been able to afford a good phone (or something else). This pimples on your face are terrible, go and buy so and so to clear it Why does your hair keep balding in front of your head? You have been married 2years when do you hope to start trying to have kids? etc.. Go and get married, you are not getting younger. What are you always doing with your salary that you cannot help Mr or Ms so and so? Why are your eyeballs always red, do you smoke? Have you ever been asked one of those questions or similar ones? The answer to those is obvious; its definitely a YES! Many of us have been recipients of unsolicited advice and thoughtless comments at different times. The problem is even though the advice may seen reasonable sometimes, it is annoying. The major problem with these advisers is that they just sit somewhere and assume they know exactly what your problem is. They then walk straight up to you and deliver their messag...

WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT GOOD FRIDAY?

Image
It's Easter Holiday once again and we are celebrating the one of the major cardinals of the Christian faith - The Crucifixion and Resurrection  of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Despite the fact that a few persons believe that the exact dates are not followed, we are just fine bringing the events to remembrance around this time of the year. The main purpose of this article however, is to highlight the reasons why the day Jesus was crucified is called GOOD FRIDAY . Let me quickly give you a little background into the reason Jesus came to die and why His death was ' good ' for all mankind. WHO IS JESUS? Jesus is the Son of the living God sent to this world to reconcile man to his Creator. This became necessary because in the third chapter of the book of Genesis we read the account of the fall of man in the garden of Eden. Man after he was created in the image of God had a wonderful relationship with his Maker. In the cool of the day, God would visit him and ...

IDEAS OR FINANCE, WHICH COMES FIRST?

If there is one thing I would remember about my present boss long after we part, it is the line he repeats nearly every day during staff meetings. It goes thus; " PREPARATION  is the foundation of PARTICIPATION , participation is the mother of EXPECTATION  and expectation is the mother of CELEBRATION ". It took me awhile to grasp the words but as soon as I did, I realised it contains a deep mine of wisdom especially for the younger ones. Many young people today blame their misfortune on the fact that no one is kind enough to help them attain their desired goal in life. They blame the government, their parents, poverty and so on but never seem to see their own fault. The truth is we don't live in a perfect world so it's useless throwing a pity party about your situation instead of seeking for ways of making your life better. It is shocking that many people even blame their skin colour or country of origin just to justify their claim on the reason behind th...

Hey Dearies,  Welcome to my first blog post! Let me first introduce myself to those who may not know me. I'm Ariyo Oluseyi, I live in Port Harcourt city Nigeria. I am a Civil Engineer turned teacher and hey, I love my job (smiles). I'm currently trying my hands on blogging just to put my writing skills to use after a really longgg time. Let me tell you a few more things about me, I'm a DIY freak. I basically love to do things by myself as much as possible and as time would permit also. I'm interested in topics ranging from Faith to Fashion, Photography, Natural hair, DIYs and Godly Relationships. I am yet to decide how to streamline my content but I guess it would be as wide as it can be. As I start this new journey, I hope to make new friends, learn new things and grow in faith too. I'll be glad to hear from you feedback, suggestions, tips and even articles. Thanks for stopping by! Lots of love, Oluseyi.
